It’s always a pleasure to help make a wedding a beautiful, seamless day but even doubly so when you do it for friends.
We’ve known Ben and Morgan for years (Ben is a talented furniture and cabinet maker with his own company based out of Searsport and Morgan works at Waldo County General Hospital in Belfast.)
Their beautiful home in Morrill was the perfect setting for this backyard wedding. We created a vegetarian focused menu for these guys, and helped work through the logistics of set up and planning.
The night finished with a bang with one of our absolute favorite bands- Soulbenders!
Stationary and passed hors d'oeuvres are both crowd pleasers. This approach also keeps the crowd flowing. ⠀
We love the Sungold Cherry Tomato detail on the escort cards! An assortment of vintage china and hand dyed runners imbued these tablescapes with a truly personal touch.⠀
Lindsay and Mike hosted a beautiful September wedding at Lindsay’s family home in Cushing. This was actually our second time working here- we catered Lindsay’s sister’s wedding back in the first season that Abigale and I ran Trillium together. It was great to see how much the the last five years had changed the landscape at this beautiful home (and was a nice reminder to take stock of how much we’ve changed and grown as a company!)
Classic Old Fashions and prosecco with fresh sliced peaches. Simple, delicious, seasonal.

Crispy Shrimp with Rosemary Honey & Pickled Chili
Heirloom Tomato & Cucumber Gazpacho
Summer Burrata Salad with Heirloom Tomatoes, Basil, and Pickled Shallots. We love the way they become a part of the tablescape.
Butternut Squash & Rosemary Lasagna, and Seared Halibut with Roasted Tomato Vinaigrette
For Elizabeth and John’s wedding, we worked with the fabulous and talented Meghan Torrieri again. Working with a planner is always welcomed (and encouraged) and without a doubt, she’s one of the best in the area!
She created a beautiful design (with the bride and groom) that included incredible lighting from Griffin and Griffin. Lighting installations framed not just the dining tent, but the dance floor and band. The attention to detail was evident everywhere- with little lounge nooks and light fixtures tucked into the landscape. We included a gallery at the bottom of this post with some of our favorite images of the design.
The overall feel for the day was colorful and welcoming- a real reflection of Elizabeth and John’s personalities!
Passed apps included Seared Maitake Mushrooms on Maine Wheat Sourdough, Arancini with Tomato Caper Relish, Lobster Tostadas, and Braised Korean Beef Short Rib Tacos!
Our Tomato Burrata Salad is a refreshing first course. It’s also delicious with jazzed up with fresh-from-the-farm peaches! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

The couple decided on a family style meal that included one of our favorite (and rarely ordered) dishes- brown sugar and ancho rubbed pork tenderloin with Maine peaches, tarragon, and fennel. Yes, it really is as good as it sounds!
We finished the evening’s menu with a beautiful wedding cake and assortment of pies, as well as Elizabeth and John’s dueling ice cream choices from Round Top & Shain’s of Maine.
As we mentioned earlier, the attention to detail was superb. The lighting added serious cozy factor!
